All aboard, as we take on the train smashing and crashing mobile game called Tadeo Jones: Train Crisis. This game is developed by the fine folks over at Mediaset. In Tadeo Jones: Train Crisis it is up to the players to help out Tadeo as he has landed himself into a world of trouble. Tadeo Jones is a mason, a bricklayer with nothing special about him, at least not until he gets mistaken for a famous archeologist. Tadeo will have help along the way from his faithful dog and his friends as it is up to Tadeo to get the trains safely around the world. There are forty levels that take place at four different historical sites including Chicago and Machu Picchu.

There is a parrot named Belzoni whose sole purpose to exist is to keep you updated of your progress. The bird is absolutely worthless as you already know where you are and what your current objective is. On the other hand, your pet dog Jeff serves the purpose of helping the player solve the current crisis with the trains. Now, I did not know this but this game is based off of a movie according to the description of the game on the Google play store.

Gameplay

The gameplay for this train crisis is indeed a crisis as the game doesn't control as well as you would expect from what appears to be a very simple concept. Try to get the trains from one location to the other without the trains colliding or derailing. The switches are not as sensitive as they need to be in order to work properly. The game is slow and sluggish.

Graphics

The graphics of the game itself are fairly nice for a mobile game, but it is getting harder and harder to condone such graphics as mobile devices can deliver a better looking experience than what is provided here in Tadeo Jones: Train Crisis. The game is rendered in 3d and is okay to look at but the gameplay really hurts the game. You really can’t even enjoy the graphics, at all, because you can't control your train and it can take frustrating to a whole new level. Tadeo Jones was created using the Unity engine, which is a very accomplished game engine, so it is disappointing that the game doesn't play any better than it does.

Sound

The sound of the game is nothing to write home about and can be played with the sound turned off. It is a shame that this game is not any better than it is, there are plenty of train simulators out there that are more worthy of your time than Tadeo Jones: Train Crisis, trust me. It is repetitive and boring and luckily it is free on the Google play store for anyone to check out and play without losing their money.

In conclusion

The game will only allow you to play the first six levels for free and then it hits you up for money, but it’s so terrible you will probably quit before you get there.
